One  hundred  and  thirty-eight  samples  of  registered  fertilizers  and 
fertilizing  materials  have  been  received  at  the  laboratory  during  the 
period  covered  by  this  report,  all  of  which  have  been  analyzed  and  are 
herein  reported.  Of  this  number,  128  were  taken  by  deputy  inspectors 
and  10  were  sent  by  farmers  under  the  two-dollar  fee  provision  of  the 
fertilizer  law. 

The  following  classification  may  be  made  of  the  above-named  samples: 

Complete  Fertilizers 92 

Bone  Meal  and  Tankage 31 

Nitrogenous  Superphosphates 3 

Superphosphate 2 

Sulfate  of  Potash 3 

Thomas  Phosphate  Powder 1 

Nitrogenous  only.     (Four  samples  of  dried  blood) 5 

Bat  Guano 1 

Total 138 


Beginning  with  July  1,  1905,  the  plan  was  adopted  of  taking  samples 
of  every  lot  of  goods  found  by  the  inspectors.  This  accounts  for  the 
large  number  of  samples  of  some  brands  in  this  report.

DEFICIENCIES. 

In  the  analyses  of  registered  samples  reported,  the  following  number 
of  deficiencies  greater  than  allowed  by  law  occur: 

Available  Phosphoric  Acid  (total  when  available  is  not  guaranteed) 17 

Total  Nitrogen 13 

Potash 13 

In  valuation 8 


ANALYSES    FOR    CONSUMERS. 

Any  user  of  fertilizers  may,  by  paying  the  fee  of  two  dollars  speci- 
fied by  Section  4  of  the  fertilizer  law,  have  a  sample  of  his  material 
analyzed.  This  fee  is  not  to  be  regarded  as  paying  the  cost  of  the 
analysis.  It  is  a  nominal  charge  made  to  prevent  the  sending  of  sam- 
ples through  curiosity,  as  is  always  the  case  when  analyses  are  made 
free  of  charge.  , 

The  sample  should  be  drawn  from  not  less  than  ten  packages,  if  the 
lot  is  five  tons  or  less;  if  the  lot  is  over  five  tons,  the  sample  should  be 
drawn  from  not  less  than  twenty  packages.  The  larger  the  number  of 
packages  sampled,  the  more  'representative  the  sample  will  be.  The 
sample  drawn  as  specified  above  should  be  thoroughly  mixed,  great 
care  being  exercised  to  prevent  the  separation  of  coarse  and  fine  mate- 
rials. Not  less  than  one  quart  should  be  taken  from  this  sample,  to  be 
sent  to  the  Station  for  analysis.  Whenever  possible  the  sampling 
should  be  done  in  the  presence  of  the  agent,  who  should  sign,  as  a  wit- 
ness, the  certificate  given  below.  If  the  sample  is  not  drawn  in  the 
presence  of  the  agent,  it  should  be  drawn  in  the  presence  of  some  other 
person,  who  should  sign  the  certificate  as  a  witness. 

Samples  for  consumers  will  be  given  preference  in  the  laboratory  and 
the  results  will  be  reported  as  soon  as  possible.  The  sample  should  be 
sent,  if  possible,  in  time  to  receive  the  report  before  the  fertilizer  is 
used,  in  order  that  recourse  may  be  had  to  the  original  packages  in  case 
of  controversy  with  the  manufacturer. 

The  form  of  certificate  given  below  should  be  used  in  sending  sam- 
ples for  analysis.  Blank  forms  will  be  furnished  upon  application. 
All  samples  should  be  marked  in  some  way  so  that  they  may  be 
identified.  Samples  should  be  sent  prepaid,  addressed  to  the  Fertilizer 
Control,  Experiment  Station,  Berkeley,  and  should  bear  the  name  and 
address  of  the  sender.  Bank  checks  and  money  orders  should  be  made 
payable  to  "The  Regents  of  the  University  of  California."  Letters, 
certificates,  and  remittances  should  not  be  enclosed  with  the  samples, 
but  mailed  separately.  When  the  report  of  analysis  is  received,  a  tag 
or  label  taken  from  one  of  the  bags  sampled  should  at  once  be  sent  to 
the  Station,  and.  the  name  and  address  of  the  agent  from  whom  the 


COMMERCIAL   FERTILIZERS.  9 

goods  were  purchased  should  be  given.  Analyses  will  be  made  only 
for  those  who  purchase  fertilizers  for  their  own  use.  Any  one  refusing 
to  send  a  tag  or  label  as  specified  above  will  be  excluded  from  further 
privileges  under  the  above  provisions. 

CERTIFICATE  FOR  CONSUMER'S  ANALYSIS. 

Director  Agricultural  Experiment  Station,  University  of  California,  Berkeley,  Calif. 

This  is  to  certify  that  I  am  not  a  dealer  in,  or  agent  for  the  sale  of  any  fertilizer,  and 
that  the  fertilizer,  a  sample  of  which  1  have  sent  you  for  analysis,  was  purchased  by 
me ,  190.-,  for  my  own  use  and  not  for  sale. 

I  further  certify  that  the  amount  purchased  was tons  and  that  the  sample 

was  drawn  from packages  and  was  thoroughly  mixed. 

Upon  receipt  of  the  analysis  from  you,  I  agree  to  furnish  you  with  a  tag  or  label 
taken  from  one  of  the  packages  sampled,  and  the  name  and  address  of  the  firm  or  agent 
of  whom  the  fertilizer  was  purchased.     I  enclose  two  dollars  analysis  fee.

VALUATION    OF    FERTILIZERS. 

The  "agricultural  value"  and  the  "commercial  value"  of  fertilizing 
materials  are  not  synonymous  terms.  The  agricultural  value  of  a  fer- 
tilizer is  determined  by  the  increase  and  quality  produced  by  it  in  the 
crop.  The  commercial  value  of  a  fertilizer  is  determined  by  the  cost  of 
the  materials  which  enter  into  its  composition.  A  fertilizing  material 
of  high  commercial  value  may  have  a  low  agricultural  value  on  a  par- 
ticular soil  or  crop.  On  another  soil  or  crop  the  same  material  may 
have  a  high  agricultural  value. 

In  calculating  the  values  given  in  this  report  the  Experiment  Station 
does  not  undertake  to  say  what  the  retail  prices  of  fertilizers  should  be 
in  this  State.  The  values  given  are  for  the  amounts  of  the  unmixed 
raw  materials  of  good  quality  represented  by  the  analyses,  and  do  not 
take  into  account  the  cost  of  grinding,  mixing,  bagging,  insurance, 
dray  age,  agent's  commission,  and  other  expenses  of  the  manufacturer. 
Hence  the  valuations  in  this  report  are  generally  lower  than  the  retail 
prices  of  fertilizers.  The  schedule  of  values  used  is  given  below.  They 
represent,  as  nearly  as  can  be  determined,  the  prices  at  which  fertilizing 
ingredients  in  raw  materials  of  good  quality  can  be  bought  at  retail  for 
cash  at  the  warehouses  in  our  largest  markets  like  San  Francisco.  It 
is  a  difficult  matter  to  get  quotations  on  fertilizing  materials  in  our 
market  that  agree  closely  enough  to  serve  as  a  basis  for  a  schedule  that 
represents  the  actual  market  conditions.  Taken  as  a  whole,  it  is 
believed  that  the  schedule  used  is  fairly  close  to  the  market  conditions. 

The  estimation  of  values  is  not  without  its  use,  even  if  the  schedule 
used  does  not  represent  the  actual  market  conditions.  In  the  first 
place,  a  comparison  of  values  calculated  upon  the  guaranty  and  the 


10  UNIVERSITY  OF  CALIFORNIA — EXPERIMENT  STATION. 

analysis  shows  whether  the  goods  have  the  commercial  value  repre- 
sented by  the  guaranteed  analysis.  In  the  second  place,  the  calculation 
of  values  upon  different  guaranteed  analyses  enables  the  purchaser  to 
determine  which  dealer  offers  him  plant  food  at  the  lowest  price,  pro- 
vided, of  course,  that  the  materials  offered  are  of  the  same  quality. 

In  reading  the  report  of  analyses,  the  column  of  values  is  the  last 
one  to  be  considered.  The  first  things  to  consider  are  the  materials 
used  and  the  analysis  as  compared  with  the  guaranty.  From  the  very 
nature  of  the  case  the  analysis  must  differ  somewhat  from  the  guaranty, 
but  the  variation  should  not  be  so  great  as  to  change  the  nature  of 
the  fertilizer.  Such  a  variation  might  take  place,  and  at  the  same  time 
the  value  calculated  upon  the  guaranty  be  greater  than  the  value 
calculated  upon  the  analysis.  Suppose,  for  example,  that  a  fertilizer 
should  be  guaranteed  to  have  the  composition  indicated  by  the  first 
column  below,  and  upon  analysis  it  should  show  the  composition  indi- 
cated by  the  second  column.

Potash 5        "  3 

According  to  the  schedule  of  values  now  in  use  these  two  composi- 
tions would  have  the  same  commercial  value,  yet  they  are  essentially 
different.     Such  variations  as  the  above  are  sometimes  met  with.

adoption  of  methods  by  the  Association  of  Official  Agricultural  Chemists. 


COMMERCIAL  FERTILIZERS.  11 

To  calculate  the  value  per  ton  of  a  fertilizer,  multiply  the  pound 
value  of  each  ingredient  by-  20,  then  multiply  these  products  by  the 
percentages  of  the  several  ingredients,  and  add  the  results. 

For  example:

IMPORTANT. 

Caution  to  Purchasers  of  Fertilizers. 

Farmers  are  requested  not  to  purchase  fertilizers  that  are  not  labeled 
to  meet  the  requirements  of  law,  and  not  to  attempt  to  purchase  them 
from  any  one  but  registered  dealers  or  their  authorized  agents.  Any 
farmer  who  purchases  fertilizers  under  any  other  conditions  does  not 
deserve  the  protection  of  the  law,  and  the  manufacturer  or  dealer 
who  does  not  label  his  goods  according  to  the  full  requirements  of  the 
law  is  liable  to  prosecution  and  should  in  nowise  be  patronized  by 
farmers.  It  is  quite  liable  to  happen,  and  does  happen,  that  now  and 
then  a  manufacturer  may  miss  his  guaranty  without  intending  to  do  so, 
but  it  is  impossible  that  he  would  have  his  labels  printed  in  non-con- 
formity to  the  law  without  doing  so  either  intentionally  or  through 
gross  carelessness.  Farmers  can  render  great  assistance  in  enforcing 
the  law  by  observing  the  above  caution. 

Every  bag  or  package  of  fertilizer  and  fertilizing  material,  whether 
a  regular  brand  or  a  special  mixture,  should  carry  a  label  or  tag  bear- 
ing the  following: 

1.  Name  and  address  of  manufacturer  and  place  of  manufacture. 

2.  Registration  number. 

3.  Name  or  brand  of  fertilizer. 

4.  Guaranteed  analysis,  giving  percentage  of 

Available  phosphoric  acid ; 

Insoluble  phosphoric  acid ; 

Total  phosphoric  acid. 

Nitrogen  in  nitrates; 

Nitrogen  in  ammonia  salts; 

Organic  nitrogen  ; 

Total  nitrogen. 

Potash. 

Or  such  of  these  ingredients  as  may  be  present. 

5.  A  statement  of  the  materials  from  which  the  above  ingredients  are  derived. 


12  UNIVERSITY  OF  CALIFORNIA — EXPERIMENT  STATION. 

In  case  of  bone  meal,  tankage,  and  Thomas  phosphate  powder,  a 
guaranty  of  available  phosphoric  acid  is  not  required  when  these  mate- 
rials are  not  acidulated. 

No  dealer  or  manufacturer,  except  those  who  have  certificates  of 
registration  from  the  University  of  California,  and  their  authorized 
agents,  can  legally  sell  fertilizers  in  this  State.  No  person  or  com- 
pany has  any  right  to  use  any  registration  number  except  in  connec- 
tion with  the  firm  name  to  which  the  registration  certificate  of  such 
number  has  been  issued;  and  no  person  or  company  to  whom  a  regis- 
tration number  has  been  assigned  has  any  right  to  give  any  other 
person  or  company  permission  to  use  said  registration  number,  and  any 
number  so  used  is  a  fraud.  No  agent  has  any  right  to  use  his  prin- 
cipal's registration  number  in  connection  with  his  own  name. 

REPORT    OF    ANALYSES. 

The  following  tables  give  the  results  of  all  analyses  made  from  July 
1  to  December  31,  1905. 

Available  phosphoric  acid  is  not  determined  in  bone  meal,  tankage, 
and  Thomas  phosphate  powder,  unless  requested.  The  fineness  of  these 
materials  is  determined,  fine  and  medium  bone  being  separated  by  a 
sieve  of  50  meshes  to  the  inch;  tankage  by  a  25-mesh  sieve;  and  Thomas 
phosphate  powder  by  a  100-mesh  sieve. 

Some  fertilizers  containing  all  three  ingredients  are  rated  as  tank- 
age, because  they  are  non-acidulated  tankage  products  with  potash  salts 
added,  and  do  not  carry  a  guaranty  of  available  phosphoric  acid. 

Nitrogen  in  ammonia  salts  will,  in  some  cases,  be  found  reported 
when  nitrogen  in  this  form  is  not  guaranteed.  In  some  of  such  cases  this 
form  of  nitrogen  is  produced  by  conversion  of  organic  nitrogen  during 
process  of  manufacture,  and  is  not  to  be  considered  a  deviation  from 
guaranty  of  materials  used.  This  form  is  not  reported  separately  when 
less  than  0.20  per  cent,  unless  it  has  been  guaranteed,  but  is  included 
in  the  total.  Guanos  carry  more  or  less  nitrogen  in  nitrates  and 
ammonia  salts,  and  when  any  appreciable  quantity  of  guano  is  used  the 
manufacturer  should  take  into  account  the  fact  that  some  nitrogen  will 
show  as  nitrates  and  ammonia  salts.  The  failure  to  take  this  into 
consideration  may  perhaps  account  for  the  appearance  of  these  forms 
of  nitrogen  in  some  samples  in  which  only  organic  nitrogen  was  guar- 
anteed. 

The  percentage  of  chlorin  is  given  when  it  exceeds  0.50  per  cent.  It 
is  a  matter  of  only  technical  interest  whether  chlorin  present  is  from 
muriate  of  potash,  kainit,  or  from  common  salt  that  may  be  in  some  of 
the  materials  used.     If  a  manufacturer  uses  sulfate  of  potash  and  uses 


COMMERCIAL  FERTILIZERS.  13 

a  tankage  with  it  containing  a  large  amount  of  chlorin,  from  a  practical 
standpoint  he  has  lowered  the  grade  of  his  fertilizer  just  as  much  as  if 
he  had  used  muriate  of  potash  instead  of  sulfate  of  potash.  Chlorin 
from  all  other  sources  is  as  objectionable  as  from  muriate  of  potash. 
However,  if  muriate  of  potash  is  found  when  sulfate  is  guaranteed,  the 
fact  will  be  published. 

The  following  abbreviations  are  used  in  the  tables:  Bl  =  blood;  Bn  = 
bone;  Fs  =  fish;  G  =  guano;  Super  =  superphosphate;  T  =  tankage. 

Guaranties  are  entered  in  italics:  Deficiencies  greater  than  allowed 
by  law  are  entered  in  bold  type.
